Ruby Ruby

oh my gosh... these are a blast from the past! waaaaay back in March, dma and I took a nice little road trip to the coast to a hidden gem: Ruby Beach. Even for two life-long Washingtonians, we hadn't visited this place... or even heard of it for that matter. (oh, btw... it is located right in between Forks & Kalaloch...)

When we arrived, it was cloudy & stormy. Oh well... we are Washingtonians, eh? I set up my tripod & took a round of pics from this area using pretty much all of my lenses...

... including the lens baby :)

Soon enough, we were in a down pour. At this point, dma had wandered up the beach a bit, so I took refuge under some trees till there was a good break in the weather. It wasn't too long until we were reunited & headed inland to escape the heavy rain. This was the view looking out from our shelter...

The rain turned into mist & we headed back out. The rain had scared away the other beach-goers and we were the only ones out and about!

Then the weather cleared up beautifully & I was glad to have my cokin gradiant ND filter!

It was a beautiful day! Since we had an early start we had an early return back to Seattle... not too shabby. It was nice to be on the coast; even if just one little beach.
